iPhone app and web site

I'm having a problem with the iPhone app. Anything I enter on the app will also appear on fatsecret.com, like it's supposed to. But anything I enter on the website is missing from the app. I tried the sync feature on the app and it didn't do anything. Any ideas?

seems to do the same thing for me but between my iPhone and iPad, although funny: on the Diet Calendar page the totals show up, just not the specific items on the Food Diary page. I wonder if that's happening with your situation as well.

This seems to be the way it works. Same for me. Food entries I entered on the website several hours ago don't show up in the app until the app is killed and restarted. Once I did that, the day summary still didn't have the total but when I went into the day's food page, it all showed up. So I'd hope they'd add a manual sync feature like email so when you pull down the page, it refreshes.

same with me as well. It doesn' seem to sync with the apps on my android. I have to keep rebooting my phone and it's annoying. Also, sometimes the items in your "Most Eaten & "Recently Eaten" just don't load correctly or entirely blank.

1. I entered food data on my Android phone in the Food Diary. When I switch to My Summary, the data briefly appears, then it vanishes and says I've eaten 0% RDA.

2. The data doesn't sync with the web site...therefore it also doesn't sync with my iPad.

3. There are threads on this forum complaining about syncing problems from three (3) years (YEARS) ago.

I was excited when I found the FatSecret apps; I thought that they looked and worked great compared to LiveStrong.

But there's one important problem: they just plain don't work. And since these problems have existed for years, I must conclude that FatSecret don't use their own apps. Guess I'll stick with LiveStrong.

I went from morbidly obese to being the owner of TABDIG - a weight loss coaching service that helps people worldwide losing weight. It's been an amazing journey. From October 4th 2010 to April 3rd 2012 I lost half my body weight - 80 kilos/170 lbs. Since then, I have had two cosmetic surgeries to remove excess skin. I have now quadrupled my strength, gained several kilos in muscle mass, and today I focus on building muscle, optimizing my diet, living healthy and helping people to reach the very same goals. I am stronger, healthier, thinner, happier! If you feel that you need help losing weight, don't hesitate to send me an inbox message.

Unfortunately I have to disagree with Kingkeld. The app has had major problems since an update in November 2012. There are many complaints attesting to this on the app store. Among the problems are issues with syncinc, searching, updating, force closing/freezing, and the widget blanking out. At the moment, it's probably easier to simply log into the main site from your phone. So far, the issues have not been addressed.

Yes, the app is useless. Anything food I enter on the site, doesn't sync with the app, which renders it useless as a tool when I'm away from my computer, such as ordering food at a resturant. Isn't that the whole purpose of this program? I used this app religiously a year and a half ago. Everything worked pretty well. I just started using it again this week, now I find it doesn't work properly, and hasn't for quite a while. It looks as though this site has been sold to a large company, who is either incompetent, or is deliberately trying to kill it.
